Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m 30 years old and have been working in special education for nearly 10 years. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and am a proud San Jose State University alum, go Spartans! Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children and teens ages 4 through 19. I began my career as an ABA therapist for children with autism, which led me to roles supporting various school districts by coordinating services and assisting students with special needs. My experience spans transitional kindergarten through high school, and in my earlier years, I also worked at summer camps and after-school programs. As the oldest of four siblings, caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. A little about me is I love to travel and explore new cultures! I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and available on evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to support your family!

Whether it’s doing crafts, playing outside, or simply being someone they can count on, I’m always happy to help. I understand how important it is for families to have someone they can trust, and I strive to be reliable, caring, and supportive. I also speak Spanish and love art and reading. i’m going into my second year of college and im majoring in health studies. im also experienced & comfortably with pets! i have 3 cats! anyways i would love the opportunity to help your family whenever you need an extra hand! don’t be afraid to reach out :))
Hi! I’m 25 years old and I work at children’s parties on weekends, doing face painting, balloon twisting, and other entertainment activities. I’ve been doing this for over three years. I also offer dog sitting in my home together with my fiancé. I love being around kids and animals — they bring so much joy and warmth into life! 🐶 I’m looking for extra opportunities to work in my free time, which is why I decided to create a profile here. My schedule is quite flexible, although I’m usually busy on weekends. I’d love to chat and discuss all the details personally! ✨
I have raised my five children and care for my four grandhcildren. I also have experience working as an assistant in a Pre-K classroom. I love working with children.
Hi There! I’m Fitri! I’m a warm, reliable, and detail-oriented caregiver with 3+ years of experience caring for toddlers and children through teaching, babysitting, and children’s programs. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your child and your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where children can play, learn, and feel comfortable. I’m experienced with age-appropriate activities, reading, creative play, learning, mealtimes, routines, and helping children develop independence. I especially enjoy caring for toddlers and young children and keeping them engaged throughout the day. I’m also an excellent household helper. I’m highly organized and have a strong eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy cleaning and turning messy spaces into clean, tidy, and organized ones! I can help with children’s laundry, dishes, toy and playroom organization, light cleaning, tidying, groceries, errands, and other household tasks that make busy parents’ lives easier. I hold an MPA from Columbia University’s SIPA and am currently on sabbatical from my government position in Indonesia while living in New York. I speak Indonesian and English fluently and have basic Spanish. Whether you need a trusted date-night sitter, regular childcare, toddler care, or an extra pair of hands around the house, I’d be happy to support your family. I treat every home with care and every child with patience, respect, and genuine attention. Best, Fitri [removed]284 [removed] _____ P.S. I’m open to part-time opportunities during my career transition. You can find my background here:[removed]
